Chamber and Community Events
The Wakulla Sun Ribbon Cutting
The Wakulla Sun held a ribbon cutting and Open House on Thursday, April 28. The newspaper is locally owned by William and Meredith Snowden. Snowden and longtime Wakulla News staffers Lynda Kinsey and Eric Stanton, along with reporter Riddhi Patel, started the Sun in February after they resigned from the News over concerns about the direction the newspaper was heading under a new corporate owner. “The goal was create a community newspaper that could operate without interference from a corporate parent,” said Snowden. “The response, and the support from the community has been overwhelming.” Former News staffer Krystal Sheppard is also working at the Sun handling circulation and former News route driver Jessi Smith is delivering papers to racks and dealers. More than 100 people attended the Open House at the Sun, which included fresh-shucked oysters from Rob Olin at Estuary Oysters.
